Pros Ranged damage and headshots are extremely effective Decent movement speed and set of Dark And Darker Gold active abilities/passives Traps disable an enemy player for ages which means you can get easy kills on them

Cons Squishier than other classes Can feel slow to get started until youve unlocked more perks The Bow is difficult to master, as the arrow drop is pretty significant A perk that improves your reload speed and movement speed while reloading the crossbow by 50%

A really useful perk that improves enemy footstep sounds You get a 10% movement buff when you are moving with a drawn bow 15% faster bow redraw animation Nearby enemy footsteps are revealed on the ground, allowing you to track their progress.

This allows you to forage briefly for food, this recovers 25hp over a short period All actions (opening doors, chests, laying traps, etc) is increased by 50% speed for five seconds Arrow drop is drastically improved, the arrow flies much straighter

In Dark And Darker, you are able to take one perk at level 0 and up to four perks at max level, with perks unlocking at level 0, level 5, level 10, and level 15. You are able to take two abilities at any time.

We recommend that you take the Nimble Hands perk as your first perk, as this will increase how quickly you are able to fire another arrow. In terms of abilities for a low level Ranger, we recommend the Field Ration ability for buy Dark And Darker Gold extra health regen and the Quickshot ability as the rapid three-arrow shot is deadly.
